Governor's Cup Competition

The Governor's Office is sponsoring a competition that will end up with the winner being assisted in making a 30 minute non fiction film documentary. It is an innovative thing and I will bet there will be some great subjects proffered in hopes of getting production costs covered by our successful film industry in New Mexico. (This is a real accomplishment of Richardson's)

Here are some irreverent subjects that we might consider as suggested by today's news stories.

How about one to investigate whether or not everyone that lives in the middle east is crazy? Just read any headline any day in any newspaper.

Or one that might find out what the mental rewards are for claiming an original idea for something in government? See Mayor Chavez and City Councillor Brad Winter having a tantrum in the Journal today

Or one that says when you win a jackpot at a local tribal casino that you actually win one? It seems every month or so some player's slot machine malfunctions at exactly the same time as they get a really BIG jackpot.

Or one that investigates how long commute times in Albuquerque will really be marginally lessened by more road construction? (3 weeks maybe) And how much longer west side sprawl will be subsidised by the building of those roads?

Add your subject for a winning documentary in the comment section. I look forward to reading them.
